GKinnear Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I posted in the "The Next President Is..." thread, but if Milley accepts the pardon, the admission of guilt is included in it. He shouldn't accept the pardon if he's not guilty of anything...if he or any of the pardoned do, you legally can say "Confessed criminal Gen (ret) Mark Milley" every time you refer to him. Again, I'm not a lawyer nor stayed at a holiday inn last night... 3 1 1

"For example, a 2017 report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) indicated that out of approximately 1.3 million registered suppressors in the United States, only 44 were connected to criminal investigations, and even fewer were linked to violent crimes." It's pure insanity. $972,000,000 collected over the years. Good revenue stream for govt i guess not factoring in the overhead to run the program. I didn't know that the tax stamp has ALWAYS been $200 since NFA enactment in 37. Thats a hefty bit of coin in 1937. 1

Full auto is better served when Uncle Sugar is buying the ammo anyway IMHO.

There's all sorts of fun dumb history about that law, like how it originally banned rifles longer than 18 in, But that would be bad for the firearms industry that was already producing shorter .22 rifles. So they made an exception for .22. Fast forward and the government started selling their surplus M1s, without realizing those rifles violated the law. So the law conveniently changed. Government has always been stupid. That has always been the necessary compromise. 1

In 2025, $200 in 1937 is equivalent to approximately $4,382 due to an average inflation rate of about 3.57% per year over the 88 years... And yes, in 1937 the Thompson submachine gun did cost around $200. Fully automatic versions today range from $15,000 (good luck finding one at that price!) to $120,000 for rare early Colt models! How Much is a Thompson Currently Worth?

Somehow this is different than ordering a new bird gun from a sports outfitter. Ridiculous laws. Can’t wait for these solvent traps to change Amazon descriptions, ha! 1 1

Do you understand what Milley did? They are not charging him for some contrived business records violation. The dude was talking to China without the knowledge of the Commander in Chief (he informed the White House AFTER the call). His statement to congress can be viewed here Interesting Pelosi stuck her nose in the process as well.
